Vinyl, Porcelain, Cloth, and Wooden Collectible Dolls
Among our most popular vinyl dolls are Lee Middleton and Adora babies. We carry a number of the Babies as well as several of the other sought-after figures of children. These vinyl dolls are incredibly lifelike and have charmed collectors all over the world. We also carry a full line of the most beautiful dolls by Helen Kish including Bitty Bethany and Riley and friends, including various delightful outfits for Riley.
We also carry a number of lovely vinyl and porcelain dolls by Heidi Plusczok, Annette Himstedt, Zawieruszynski as well as Limited Edition porcelain dolls by Pauline Middleton. Many of our customers particularly love her Aborigine children dolls. If you are a cloth doll enthusiast, you must see the lovely creations by Nancy Latham and Val's Rag Patch. And if you're in the mood for a recommendation from the founder of The Alcove, a life-long doll enthusiast herself, take a look at the Xenis Fairy Tale Collection. These exquisite fully articulated wooden dolls are actually music boxes as well.
If you are a first-time collector, you may want to consider which types of dolls are most practical for your household--particularly if children may want to handle or play with the dolls. Adhere to the care instructions that come with your dolls, and make sure that you use the correct materials if you want to preserve them, as methods of cleaning and preservation differ among wood, cloth, vinyl, and porcelain collectible dolls. Please do not hesitate to call us at (800) 438 9527 in order to learn more about any of our collections of collectible figurines, dolls, or bears.
